On a Wednesday afternoon some 5,300 years ago, a shepherd headed into the Alps to tend his flock of goats. He would never see his home again. His mummified corpse and violent death have been the subject of study and speculation since a retreating glacier released him from his makeshift grave in 1991, A.D. (or C.E.... whatever.)

In observance of the 20th anniverary of the discovery of the victim now known as "Oetzi the Iceman," and in support of NUELOW Games' goal of educating while entertaining, we proudly present Icing Oetzi: A ROLF! Historical Recreation.

The result of all the research that can be expected for a $0.50 product from a company named NUELOW Games, the three combat scenarios and four pre-generated characters presented gives insi...

Nearly 90 years ago, celebrated writer of the weird and terrifying Lovecraft unleashed his "Herbert West, Re-Animator" series of short stories upon the an unsuspecting world. In those tales, Lovecraft originated the now-standard flesh-rending zombie. This NUELOW Games scenario for ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters was inspired by Lovecraft's stories, and is a celebration of his blood-spattered gift to the horror genre.

In Herbert West vs. the Zombies, West is once again restoring life to the dead with his Re-Agent... and once again, things go terribly wrong and he finds himself faced with a h...

ROLF: Supermodel Slapfest Regular price:$0.99 Bundle price:$0.50

Six supermodels are trapped in a building with a whiny fashion designer and a hunky handyman... and a murderer out to get them all! Sounds like the teaser summary for a slasher film, but it's actually the subject of the latest supplement for ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters.

Dangerously close to being a real adventure (as opposed to the usual stuff where characters meet, characters kick each other into oblivion), this 10-page product features new Combat Maneuvers, new Stuff (both Armor and Weapons), eight pre-generated player characters, as well as the maniac who is trying to kill them. Well, who probably will kill them if the egomaniacal supermodels don't kill each other first.

As an added feature, there's a system for secretly making one of the &...

The Associated Shades of Hades is a social club whose members are, generally speaking, refined and civilized in their behavior; one would expect nothing else from a group that includes such famous figures as George Washington, Confucious, and Sherlock Holmes. But sometimes, tempers flare, witty banter fails, and out come the knives, pistols, and pool cues.

ROLF!: The Associated Shades of Hades is a supplement inspired by John Kendrick Bangs' classic tales of Hades (also available from NUELOW Games, in Houseboat on the River Styx). Now Shakespeare and Bacon settle the question of who wrote "Hamlet" with violence of the most savage kind, while Cleopatra beats the stuffing out of Captain Kidd just because she feels like it.

When you just want to beat up on your friends without actually hurting them, ROLF! is the game to turn to. With quick character generation and a fast-moving combat system, it's a silly little game that puts the die-rolling in roll-playing games. With this game, you really get what you pay for!

Designed by Steve Miller (formerly of West End Games, TSR and a few other bankrupt RPG publishers) and L.L. Hundal (formerly of nowhere, because she's much too smart to enter game design on a professional level), this is the perfect game to pass the time while waiting for late-comers to arrive for the RPG session... or while you've been kicked out of the room, because the GM and another player or two are engaged in some secretive, story-based roleplaying nonsense.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
